2011 marked the beginning of a fun tradition started by Tara of Padded Tush Stats. The Cloth Diaper Awards is a time for you to nominate and vote for your favorite products and sites. Let your voice be heard! I loved the award video for each of the categories last year. I was nervous waiting for the winner to be revealed each time. Thanks, Tara, for this great event!

All About Cloth Diapers was voted as your Favorite Cloth Diaper Resource in 2011!

To say I was shocked is an understatement. I love what I do and seeing you cloth diaper successfully is what drives me everyday.

Over the last several months my family has been using their Herbal Liquid Soap. This stuff is the bomb! (that’s supposed to be funny…bomb- balm…get it??)

The consistency is absolutely perfect. Not runny, thick, herbally-fragrant, completely safe for my sensitive skin, lathers wonderfully even in hard water and a little goes a pretty good ways.

I really like the pump bottle it comes in. The bottle is aluminum and the pump is a sturdy plastic. I have used the same bottle, refilling it when necessary, since the beginning and it’s still pumping. Maybe it’s just me but I always seem to pump a bottle to its death. This one has survived a family of 7 pumping it a lot.

That seems like a tangent but it’s important! I can’t imagine going back to bar soap ever. It’s so much cleaner to use a liquid soap–no soap scum on the tub!

Lately, Camden has been pooping a lot. Poor kid eats so much it’s bound to happen. But, all that going is causing him to have some redness.

After each diaper change I apply plenty of Natural Tushies Cloth Diaper Cream. The redness is gone next change every time. The soothing properties of Comfrey and Plaintain leaf combined with healing Calendula flowers is just what Camden’s irritated skin needs.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m a bit freakish when it comes to consistency of a product. That’s my first critique of any balm/salve/ointment.

Of course, whether or not it works is pretty darn important as well.

One aspect that makes this cream different from others is a very small amount spreads a long way. I tend to scoop out a bunch when I use creams or ointments but that’s wasteful with Natural Tushies.

The consistency is partially solid then almost melts at body temperature. When I smooth it on I feel a slight warmth emitted. Camden calms down when I put it on him as opposed to another cream I grabbed recently that made him cry. Not good.

On a side note, Meagan has some other fantastic products in her store. Two in particular that caught my eye are the Herbal Yeast Cream and Cold Care Kit for Children. We have all passed around the cold and now Sterling has croup.

As much as I hate to admit it, I’ve been suffering from a yeast infection under my arms. Stress, lack of sleep, poor diet while traveling and depressed immune system have led to this wonderful moment. (For those wondering, I was using an OTC fungal cream- it did nothing- then switched to a GFSE wash which is clearing it up.)

I’m also joining the giveaway by including one BROWN Charlie Banana pocket diaper. Charlie Banana is a great pocket diaper and brown is one of the newest releases.

Honestly, I would love to win the wipes. I’ve yet to try real cloth wipes, and I really want to. :-) I’d also like the BG Freetime. I’m new to all this, but am beginning to really like BG. I haven’t tried their Freetime yet, but it’s on my list!

I would choose either of the diapers because I am brand new to cloth diapering and only have two! I will need quite a few more to do it full time like I am hoping to, so I am just building it up as I can afford to… Nothing is more affordable than winning one! :) Thanks for sharing in this giveaway

I would love to have either the rash cream (because my baby girl has a HORRIBLE rash right now), the Bumgenius dipe (because I love the 1 Bumgenius I am fortunate enough to own), or the Charlie Banana dipe (because I want to try something new)!

I just ordered some Growing Up Herbal creams based on your recommendation! We have been battling rash for 4 months after starting cow’s milk. It’s just finally clearing up with trying some other milks and lots of lovely creams. Oh, and I LOVE Charlie Bananas…the brown is so nice!

With all the comments as entries I don’t know if you’ll get this, but I recently received some bum genius and rumparooz diapers as a gift. I know you have to wash some diapers several times before using using. What is the protocol on these? Thanks in advance for your help

I would love to try the Pocket diaper or the diaper cream. My son has a constant rash & have have tried so many different things. Looking into cloth diapers & am at a loss with all the different options. It would be great to be able to give one a try!

My baby is 4 weeks old and I am just now starting to cloth diaper. I would love to try the 2 Natural Tushies Cloth Diaper Cream from Growing Up Herbal. Wish me luck, and thanks SO much for your helpful site!!

I am brand new to cloth diapering! My daughter recently switched her toddler to cloth and is showing me the ropes. I am currently trying to get pregnant through a surrogate with what will be my 6th child. My youngest is 10 and I used disposables with all 5 of them. I’m very excited to use cloth this time and ordered my first 4 diapers this week. I plan to have everything I’ll need before the baby is even born.

I think I would have a difficult time choosing between the balm and the diapers – neither of which I have tried yet! Being relatively new to cloth diapering (and switching not one, but two babies!) I am eager and excited to try them all out – which can be quite the adventure. I love pockets, but am just as loving of the aios… However that balm would be a delight in this busy house with five kids. What a fantastic package of prizes!!!
